Authority to exercise ultimate power to investigate the offending officer and employee and
impose the corresponding penalty for the offense committed is vested only on one officer in
an office referred to in the Civil Service Decree of the Philippines as the “discipline
authority” and the power vested in him/her is known as “disciplinary jurisdiction”. It has
the final authority to pass upon the removal, separation, and suspension of said officers and
employees.
The appointing authority has been given the concurrent disciplinary jurisdiction over his/her
subordinate officers and employees. (R.A. No 6040 in August, 1969, amending R.A. No.
2260, otherwise known as the Civil Service Law).
Republic Act No. 6040, Section 37 provides that, “an investigation may be entrusted to the
Regional Directors or similar officials who shall make necessary report and
recommendations to the head of office or department”.
The power to discipline is an inherent right and duty in every organization for without it,
the very aims and purpose for which it was organized cannot be truly achieved. And in the
exercise of this power, the administrators find themselves bound by restrictive legislation.

- It is viewed from the standpoint of the individual proceeds from within and to a large
extent is habitual reaction to established values, customs, traditions, and regulations.

- It involves force or some outward influence in its extreme form, proceeds on the theory
that compliance is secured by the use of punishment or by fear of penalties

sufficient.

workers and others who can be moved without disrupting the service concerned.
Demerits or reduction
A penalty which results from the performance rating of the employee maybe severe since
it may seriously retard his progress toward a better position. In most cases, any breach of
duty is recorded of the employee and taken into consideration at the time of possible
promotion.
Suspension
This is without pay and is considered severe since the employee does not report to work
for a time and does not receive the usual pay.
Demotion
It is with a reduction of pay and the employee who suffers from it is subjected to a
continuing penalty since his monthly earnings are permanently less than before action was
taken. In addition, the stigma is greater than the new duties to which he is assigned may be
less agreeable. It is used with caution, as it invariably results in breaking the spirit and
lowering the morale of the employee.
Dismissal
It is the most extreme penalty. It results not only in loss of income and status but also
in the loss of other privileges.
It provides that, “no officer or employee in the Civil Service shall be suspended or
dismissed except for cause as provided by law and after due process”.
DECS Rules and Procedure shall address the urgent need to rationalize and systematize the
conduct of the proceedings to expedite the resolution of complaints and grievances involving
officials and employees of the DECS.
DECS Rules and Procedure shall liberally be construed in order to affect an expeditious and
just settlement disputes.
30. Grievance

relationships or status among co-workers that are believed to be wrong, unfair, ignored, or
dropped without due consideration.

remedy the specific cause or causes of the grievance.
NOTES:
When the dissatisfaction calls for disciplinary action, it shall not be
considered as
The Grievance Committee shall render its decision within five (5) days from receipt of the
